It absorbs well and seems like a good choice for using retinol without any fuss!

Pros
The way it absorbs is decent. It seems like it could be a really great product if used correctly, but I personally feel some irritation.
Cons
First off, having to store it in the refrigerator is a bit of a hassle. Also, the irritation was quite intense for me, causing redness for a while! So it's not really a product I'm eager to reach for.

Pros
I apply this product only in the evening, between my toner and moisturizer. First off, it has excellent absorbs, making it easy to apply. It absorbs well into the skin quickly, without needing much patting. However, since it contains retinol, it's crucial to follow up with ample hydration using other products. Although you only need a small amount each time, the quantity is generous, so it should last quite a while. I have super sensitive skin, and when I applied it close to my eyes, I experienced some itching and redness the next day. I'd recommend being cautious around the eye area. This product works well for combination dehydrated skin and oily skin types.
Cons
For those with extremely sensitive skin, this product might be challenging to use due to its potentially irritating nature.
Tip
After using a toner pack, I apply the retinol and then layer another toner pack on top to boost hydration! Finishing with a moisturizer seems to help calm the skin, making the potentially irritating retinol gentler on the complexion.

Pros
This product absorbs exceptionally well with no sticky feeling, and its absorption rate isn't bad at all. The retinol content is just right, so with consistent use, you can see results without irritation. I highly recommend this as an entry-level retinol product.
Cons
Since it's not a high-concentration formula, the brightening and pore-refining effects might not be as pronounced as those of higher-strength retinol products.
Tip
As retinol can be drying to the skin, it's crucial to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer.

Pros
I'm currently using retinol products, starting with a low concentration and gradually increasing. I've finished one tube of this product and I'm on my second. It applies smoothly without irritating my skin. Depending on my skin condition, I use about one to two pea-sized amounts, and there's no skin irritation. The effects are visibly noticeable - my pores have significantly reduced. It's especially effective in minimizing vertical pores around the cheeks and pores on the nose.
Cons
One drawback is that the product comes out quickly when you open the cap, similar to Fucidin ointment. The wrinkle improvement function is a bit disappointing.
